* ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'' started off featuring easily-angered [[PlayingWithFire Toa of Fire]] Tahu and NotGoodWithPeople [[AnIcePerson Toa of Ice]] Kopaka. However, later teams would invert this; Jaller was a Toa of Fire yet calm and professional as TheCaptain, while his team's Toa of Ice, Matoro, was quiet but compassionate, [[{{Determinator}} determined]], and TheChosenOne. The Bara Magna setting has another inversion, as the fire tribe warrior Ackar is old and thoughtful, while his best friend, Kiina (with the water tribe), is a brash, sharp-tongued [[TheLadette Ladette]].** [[TheStoic Kopaka]] also works closely with BoisterousBruiser Pohatu, with whom he has an OddFriendship.* ''WesternAnimation/{{Inhumanoids}}'' brought us the duo of Pyre (Fire spirit) and Crygen (Grey ice spirit), both of which can fuse together into the guardian of the Earth's core, Magnacore!** As with the Earth Corps humans, Herc Armstrong is the fearless Red oni while Liquidator is the more calm and collected Blue oni. Although their file photo shirts are the otherway around, Herc's green exploration suit has more red on it than blue...while Liquidator's yellow suit has it the other way around.** Of course, if you want Herc as the blue oni, contrast him with ''bad boy'' Auger's red oni. And Liquidator can only be red oni to the blue oni of Dr. Derek Bright (who himself wears the blue exploration suit).* ''Robo Force'', the mid 80's collection of action figure robots, played this trope very straight. Blazer, the igniter, is Red oni because he is very impulsive... not to mention that he uses [[KillItWithFire flamethrowers]] as his weapons. But S.O.T.A. (State Of The Art), the creator, is Blue oni for being an inventive scientist with a calm demeanor. Also, both robots have their torsos in their respective colors.----
